I agree, Alan - maybe this increasingly horrific situation will get us all moving in a better direction.

Are we now seeing an increasingly polarised world - will decency triumph over sh*t? Apparently this is growing worldwide. Apparently this is growing worldwide.

Perhaps it is long overdue for Melania to shuffle the Donmeister off to the Bide-A-Wee home for bewildered despots and tyrants - it can't happen too soon !!!

The Alien Enemies Act is to be used by Trump, creating an even more hostile nation wherein random people and groups, particularly those who oppose Trump and his comrade in arms ' Brother Elon' will, of course, be tracked down and punished- this is becoming scarier by the day. And talking of Elon, who seems not to understand the growing aversion to his 'politics'. the accompanying image shows the growing resistance to the Man Who Would be King. Some people have a conscience. Some people have a conscience.

I am glad that there seems to be a growing backlash against Forest Trump and Musk the Merciless - the boycott of Tesla has seen Musks' fortune diminished to the tune of over &100 bn. dollars and share prices dropping by between 26 and 50 per cent, and Europe, Canada and others are standing up to Trumps' bully-boy behaviour with a number of retaliatory moves; all of which disproves the common cliche that 'ours is not to reason why' and 'life is what happens when you're making plans' - a clear demonstration of people power. However, I can't help feeling that all of this is too little, too late, as there are just too many people who are happy to keeping repeating history.

Apparently, Trump is set to introduce a $2,000 tax hike on the middle classes - I had thought that such disloyalty was assured, but not quite this soon. Also (apparently), Musk has announced his ambition to create an undersea link from England to America at an estimated cost of $19tn. and all so that travellers can make the journey in one hour - simply spiffing!

Todays' barking hissy-fit from Gods' own little cherub was, in my opinion, a further demonstration of the innate danger posed by Trump (and his acolytes) to our world. Once again, he showed that he had no understanding of events around him, and I feel that Zelenskyy showed great restraint whilst being bullied, accused and harried. That Trump should have accused Zelenskyy of playing with World War 3 is terrifying as it is Trump who is steamrollering over the planet, and seems to be displaying clear signs that he should not be in office. Still, I suppose that I and others making such comments might be regarded as 'bringing a negative energy' to affairs - we shall see, shan't we?

In recent days Trump has shown himself to be increasingly dictatorial and in light of his comments regarding Ukraine he just plain doesn't understand what he sees and hears = I can' help wondering just how much damage will be allowed by the global population before he, Musk, Putin and others are contained for the safety of all - nah, just let them get on with things, eh? After all, someone (or something) will clear away this worsening mess (which our history proves always happens). By the way, I' glad that Trudeau broke ranks and called out Trump as a bully. It's true.

Mmmm, and getting even more dangerous; someone likened Trumps' political approach to ' a chimp with a chainsaw' - darkly funny - gallows humour, perhaps? Oh, and an audience member on a politics talk show opined that ' Palestinians and Ukranians should just ''suck it up'' ( regarding their loss of freedom of self-determination) - easy when it isn't you, of course.

Well, what has Trumpenstein done now? Since re-writing the human biological code during his inauguration speech ' there will now be only two genders - male and female' (which seems to have gone unnoticed), re-naming the Gulf of Mexico, threatening to take ownership of Greenland and Gaza, purging the region of all Palestinians, cutting aid to South Africa and is in the process of dismantling USAID, cutting funding towards bio-medical research and, of course, will impose sanctions upon the International Criminal Court because 'he doesn't like them', I can't help wondering what other 'helpful actions he will take against the rest of our world. Trump, Musk and others of the same ilk remind me of small children who play a fantasy game to the max, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality and acting on the back of raw and unrefined emotions - 'I want, I want it's my way all the way'. Global society must stop feeding the beast - our childrens' lives are at stake.

Once again, the coverage of this latest development did not raise an eyebrow - this is serious stuff, and says, to me anyway, that Trump is, in my opinion, even more disturbed than last time around. If I wanted to write the most outlandish fiction I couldn't come close to this, even with a pretty good imagination ( and that includes Musks' open declaration of wanting to own this world of ours - others are making the same observation -take a tablet and lie down in a darkened room, please!!) - once again, I refer to Alans' comment that you can't argue with madness.

This is a real eye-opener but contextually unsurprising - I have noticed that there seems to be an unofficial global censorship at work, where people allow for very little to be discussed; if what is said is outside the narrow bounds of ones' ego, belief or interest, you will either be met with silence or you will be demonised and perhaps punished. Trump must know that he has a ready audience (well, he IS 'The Peoples' Champion!!), and that the laziness of the many is fertile ground for his destructive b.s. I agree with Alans' comment about trying to reason with madness, and two superb books deal with this and the accompanying apathy of many ( '1984' and 'The Nazis - A Warning from History); not caring seems to be at the heart of most of our self-inflicted problems, you know, 'I would shrug my shoulders, but I just can't be bothered', and, for those who simply 'don't care', understanding doesn't figure. Well, we don't have too much time to become 'bothered' and reverse course from this vile self-created generational sh*thole - we don't have to make ourselves go extinct, and yet now here we are. Brilliant.

Two things - megalomaniac Musk has shown his contempt for others bay daring to attend yesterdays' memorial at Auschwitz after making 'jokes' about the Holocaust this is disgusting; and Musks' 'little 'mate' Trump is apparently pausing the distribution of vital anti-retro viral medications for the poorest who are afflicted with full-blown AIDS. We as a species need to say 'no' to people such as this - no, you can't damn well do as you please - Musk and Trump are used to getting their own way and, as a result, others suffer.

Oh, we just can't help making things worse, can we? Maybe we just like destroyers - and, as another New Years' gift to us all, Trump is alleged to have an ambition to 'buy' Canada, and shoehorn it into the Union as its' 51st state, and poo to any notions of sovereignty - boy oh boy!!!

Sara Sharifs' vile 'parents' have been sentenced - good, but this will not bring back their innocent child and, to all who knew, (authorities, neighbours) and who did nothingand should have saved her, have no soul and no conscience. The worldwide attention drawn, rightly, to todays' verdicts regarding the horrors inflicted upon Gisele Pelicot may, perhaps, begin a long overdue discussion regarding the common habit of humans treating each other as objects, although I have my doubts as two internationally popular 'comedies' present the rape of adults and children as a source of 'humour'. which is supposed to represent an 'enlightened' stance - crap to that.

Since Christmas is a time for giving, I suppose todays' announcement is unsurprising - as well as pardons for rioters,Trump will eliminate birthright citizenship (which will, of course, be emulated by other nations who are all 'keeping it real').

It is rumoured that Musk may male a substantial donation to Britains' 'Reform UK' party - this, on top of what is being done in Syria, Romania, South Korea and many other places, indicates that many people seem to prefer the clenched fist to the open hand.

I am glad that at least some are treating this with the seriousness that it deserves - in this current climate, the two contributors to this footage are brave indeed.

There seems to be an air of glibness in much of the way in which news media is covering Trumps/ 'escapades'; I am well aware of Larry Kings' comment that journalists should be 'so neutral' as to be infuriating, but surely some journalists should risk severe reprimands and point out the'possible dangers' posed by this unjustifiably powerful man. I have seen, so far, only one mention of Trumps' ambition to expel all transgender personnel from US military forces. which will, doubtless, open the floodgates for other demonised groups to follow - we have seen this in the past. The planned 'purge' of America, wherein all people of a 'brown persuasion'will be despatched,, is also seen as unworthy of being mentioned; Trumps'cabinet picks are also free from scrutiny,as is Vances' additional penchant for destruction and, of course, Musks' seemingly obvious plans for world domination are all greeted by 'la la la' from most. This is all crucial stuff for all Earth residents and we are all responsible for choosing the shape of our global society - when are we going to pay attention and ensure that we have the best chance of a future?

This is disgusting - I can't stand the way in which we, as a species, treat our young -weh should protect them, not hurt them.
